Opposition Claims Victory In Zimbabwe Elections 50.3% Of The Vote

The opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai claims he has defeated Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe in the Zimbabwe’s election. According to media reports Mr. Tsvangirai’s party won 50.3% of the vote and the dictator of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party won 43.8%. The vote proves the people of Zimbabwe have spoken they want change.

There are also stories floating that Robert Mugabe is working out a deal so he can escape being arrested. The real question is Mr. Tsvangirai really better then Mugabe? What is Mr. Tsvangirai going to do about the serious economic, social, cultural, and political turmoil in the Southern African nation?

What will the response of the international community be to the election results and does the United Nations honestly believe order can be restored? Will Mugabe even step down? Mugabe has been in power for over 28 years but it does appear finally that Mugabe understands the people of Zimbabwe want him to resign.
